God I hope this happens, I like both fighters and I think they could provide for a complete war!! They both box fairly well, with a slight edge in striking to Mir because of his kicks IMO. They are both BJJ wizards with an advantage to Nog as he is much more well decorated. I say let them go at it and settle their dispute. Plus if Nog won then how could they deny him a title shot with the Brock / Carwin winner.

I don't know. I mean Big Nog is definitly a beast on the ground, but you can't deny Mir is at leaste close to his level....not so much with the seemless transitions that Nog has but Mir is creative with his bjj...like with his reverse kimora against hardonk??? Was it hardonk??? Anyway it was sick.

I would say Nog's BJJ skills are superior to Mir's,but I think it really comes down a lot to a matter of opinion.Just looking down the tale of the tape,Mir seems to be able to get submissions faster than Nog but I don't think Nog minds taking his time to work for the submission.Then I think you have to look at their records.I don't think it's hard to see Nog has definently had more top fights than Mir to speak of.That's not saying Mir hasn't fought good competition,but just look at Nogs record.I think it speaks for itself.

I would say one of my deciding factors in stating Nogs BJJ is slightly better than Mirs is the fact that Mir didn't seem eager at all to go to the ground with him.His whole gameplan seemed to revolve around beating him at the standup,GNP as little as possible and then let him up.Executed perfectly.But I don't think Mir was wanting a ground war.
